Verify the backup, not just the cron

backpulse watches your scheduled work and pings you only when something doesn’t happen.

Quickstart — install backupctl, create a check, and get your first verified check-in.

Guides — restic and Borg, Kubernetes CronJobs, and nightly pg_dump. Copy-paste setups.

How it works — missed, late, failed, overlapping, and stuck jobs. The mental model.

Reference — every backupctl flag, every config.yaml key, every HTTP endpoint.
